ART‘ SOCIETY ltfEETllflfi. Handicrafts were discussed last night at a regular monthly meet- ing of the Prince Edward Island Art Society held at the Harris Memorial Gallery. The president. Mrs. RE, Sutherland presided. Miss Helen Yeo had charge of the program. Miss Jean Gill, librarian at the Charlottetown Iiibrsry re- viewed a number of books she had available dealing with handicrafts. Mrs. James McConnell gave a very interesting and instructive talk on the handicraft of weavint’. (lemon- strating on a small loom, She also had on display many beautiful pieces of various patterns. The meeting also saw s. display from the Canadian Handicraft Guild. Toronto, Including weaving, articles carved from wood and metal work. An exhibition on the "Moments of Desisn", from the National Gallery at Ottawa, was also of much inter- est to the meeting,

which scored over 90. Mr. Clay

said no other boar in Canada ever

auctioned that record in a life C.

Misty Orders

Eartha proof of the quality of Island hogs, Mr. Clay said, is evidenced by the orders which‘ are rxsurimg into the Province ior Ir- iand Hogs-orders which cannot b0 filled. One hundred and forty- eix hogs left the Province in one day for Western Canada: 55 went in" one day to Quebec and 30 to Ontario.

Nevertheless. Mr. Clay admon- ished, improvements can easily be made in their hog raising methods by many farmers. Every breeder should know the pedigree of his stock so that the buyer will not have CIIIIIC to doubt whether or not the breeder knows his business. All hogs should be kept scrupul- ously clean of external parasites in order that the reputation so care- fully built up by many Isisrid hog breeders should not be endangered by the practices of a relatively small number who are careless in their hog raising practices.

Mr. Clay said iilie quality of Is- land pure bred stock m-ust not stand still. Rather mruet it be In- creased. He would approve the contmirpiated regulations wihich would make it neces y for every boar ki-et for breeding oses and which is born after December 1st, 1947, to be from a qualified sow if he is to be boniused by the Government.

‘Mr. Clav said Mir. Boswell "stole the show” from the other dele- gates when he attended thereeeni Swine Breeders‘ annual meeting in Toronto. Mariv of them were sur- prised to learn of the ihigh nuality of bacon hoes rvrodiioed In Mime Edward Tslsnd Mr. Clay said. The Deputy-Minister of AgrIcultnu-n had told him recentiv in Ottawa that Prince Edward Island bad net ft mar-k in ounlitv hog production for the rest of Canada to shoot at.

Steady s-OVQIOPMQTIIJ

Mr. WR. Shaw said the develop- ment of island hoe production Iliad beep steady. It cmild not. however. atom. Tlf the Province was to go ahead In the industry, breeders miv-t lccie forw-ard to not only sup- plying Ontario and Western Call- ada with mire bred stock but other parts of the Empire as weill. One

' way to keep all pure bred stock in being

the Province for iihe time

was, Mr. Shaw said, for the oom- iaeroial hog raiser: to buy their hood sows fruit "key breedm." l! every hog raiser determined to false only the highest quality of hog, the demand would give the key breeders enough business to keep tiiicm busy without exporting to other parts of Canada.

Mr. M. Chepuswick of Moncton. Dominion Government live stock fieidman. said he had enjoyed be- ing present and could heartily 00ft- gratulate the Island hog breeders on their enviable record. if they we're to maintain that high stand- ard, however, they would have to be imreierstini; in their efforts, for the tendenc of all genetics was to revert to average standards unless wise selections for breeding purposes were made.

Other speakers

other speakers who addressed the meeting briefly were Mr. Chel- hn- Pratt, st. Peters, sir. Prank Clark, Charlottetown. and Ml‘. 11.0. Parent, superintsndsnt of the local -Dominien Experimental Farm.

Mr. Parent said Quebec and New munswicg had Imported. ure brsii hogs from the Province or exper- lsnantsl purposes in breeding. ifs thought a resolution should bs in- troduced at the cisstin ins the saved practice be f io at the loeal experimental fame “a.

Seed Potatoes For Palestine

Some 30 cars of Island seed po- tatoes have been shipped toi-iaii- fax where they are bcins iilfldfid this week on the "Seaside" for shipment to Palestine, t

This makes a total of some 3'1.- 000 bushels of seed which has gone to Palestine this season to Jewish buyers, the first time that Island seed potatoes have penetrated that far-away market. A previous ship- ment consisted cf 1'3.000 bushels. Both shillnents were made by the P.E.I. Potato Growers‘ Association.

Negotiations had been under way for an additional thirteen cars 0,! potatoes this year to the Mediterranean area, but the idea had to be dropped this season ba- cause it has grown too, late to 00m- plete the arrangements and makc the shipment in time for their early planting season.

The present shipment to the Mediterranean consisted 0f Kat- ahdliis for the most part, although there were also some small Green Mountains.

The shipments to Palestine and the possibilities seen of a, further expansion of markets for Island seed in other parts of the Medit- erranean emphasize the statement nude here recently by Mr, S.G. Peppin. District inspector in charge of seed potato certification, when he said:

"P.E. Island potatoes find their way to at least half of the States oi the United States as well as to many oreign countries such as Cuba, Bemiuda, Jamaica,_and oth- er West Indies Islands. Dcminican Republic. Venezuela, Mexico, Bra- zil, Uruguay, Argentina, South Af- rlcg. Portugal, and Palestine,"

‘The provinces of Canada and Newfoundland are other markets said Mr. Peppln who pointed out that sample lots had been ship- ped to other places such as Cyp- rus, Egypt, Chile, Peru and Java.

Not Enthusiastic At Film Prospects

OTPAWA. Feb, 2g - (Special)- Those familiar with the movie in- dustry in Canada's capital and others in Ottawa who in previous years have lost money in Canad- ian films enterprises today looked witna jaundiced. eye 0n Trade and Commerce Minister C.D. Howe‘s aPIJeal in the Commons on

'Monday for thg development of a

Canadian Hollywood. Mr. Howe dil- ated on the beauty of the scenery the wealth cu’ plot material and the culture of Quebec as s. suitable subject for movie scrips and also tho unique advantages of British Columbia as a local for movie- making. Later, C.C.I-". lender M.J. Coldwell suggested a fi‘m saga on the early settlement of the prair- ies. -

Today. members were speaking lyrically of the possibilities of their own constituencies for epics of the silver screen. Prince Edward Island with its Ann of Green Gables: Nova scotia with its wooden ships and iron men; New Brunswick with its hunting and fly-fishing; Ontario and the ivar of 1812. and the North- West Territories with its uranium deposits were all suggested as sure-fire money-shakers. But thea- tre-owners here and all in the business except; the government- owned National Film Board say that a' Canadian film industry would end in in; red within less than two years.

They recall the boom a quarter of a century ago when a Canad- iari company near Ottawa filmed Ralph Connor's "The Man From Glengarry" and went into bank- ruptcy shortly afterwards. They recall that a Montreal and Que- bec production "Whispering City" was regarded as a mediocre pict- ure in English and that its French version was laughed off the screen In France; that abortive film com- panies in Toronto came to grief shortly after their inception. All these companies with a single ex- ception, they say, proved a loss for investors, some of them despoiling widows and orphans. Sole success- ful Canadian film venture, it ls stated here was that oi’ the Ship- mans, a man and his wife who many years ago made successful westerns.

THRONE SPEECH

Pbllowing is the text of His Honour! speech from the Throne.

Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island. .

l. In the name of His Majesty, the King, I thank you for attend- ing here today to assume your Leg- islative duties.

2. Since the last session, the Pro- vince mourns the passing of a former member of its Legislature, Mr. Montague Annear.

3. The marriage of the heir-ap- parent to the Throne called for nation-wide rejoicing. In her vow of service to the Empire, she said: “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be 1mg or short. shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great Smiperial Family to which we all belong, but 1 shall not have stroltth to carry out thisresoiu- tion alone unless you join in it with me as I now invite you w do. I know tha your support will be unfailingly gveii. God help rne Io make good my vow, and Goa bless all of you who are willing to share it." My government reaf- firms its loyalty to the King as Head of the great Imperial Fam- ily.

4. We are pleased that farm production was excellent in the past year and the prices ior farm

products quite satisfactory. The fisheries, however. declined in both production and price. The

scarcity and high price of labour hss necessitated the , chase of more equipment, which has enabl- ed farmers to increase _their pro- duetion. qlbroughout Canada near- ly twice as many are engaged is mtnufacturing as in farming, but in our Province more than six- ty per cant are still encased ill farming, wh-ich remains the chief Investment of our citisens.

I. The 'Dcminion- Provincial Agreement, which cams into force on April i. i041. forecast a pay- ment of two million two hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars. I am pleased to inform you that the estimate ‘will be oonside obi! emssdeii due to the mountins Gross National Production.

Probe For Bodies In Ruins After Fire In Duelist:

QUEBEC, Feb. 24 - (GP) — Death toll in today's HODDOObIaze on LoweigTown Quebec's fanned Mountain Hill tonight. was set at three after preliminary seardi of the charred ruins of several fire- swept buildings and a city-wide search yielded no trace of a 92- year-old man and his 03-year-old niece.

Fire Chief Rosairo Beanilieu said authorities now are convinced James Smith, ow-ner of a curio shop, and Miss Male Trumblo who lived wihh hhi above the chop, had perished in the blaze. -

Search for their bodies wouildbe resumed at dawn tomorrow, he said.

She was carried to the steps of a building away from the flrg and died after being administered the last sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church.

The spectacular blaze, Quebec's worst since destruction of St. Michel Archangel Hospital 1O years ago, resulted in the seldom used "99" slam-i calling out all firemen. It. was discovered by an autobus driver going home after work at about 2 AM.

Water poured into the fire from l8 streams of hose flooded streets on lower ground and interrupted bus service to that quarter of the ciil’ during the day. The weight of ice that formed 0n electric wires snapped the lines, depriving bus- iness firms in the financial district of power.

This agree- ment brought about many advan- tages for trade, possibly the most important for our Province being an additional quota of one million bushels of potatoes to the United states yearly. While import restric- tions for the time being have ren- dered ineffective ‘many of the tariff concessions. the full force of the changes will soon be felt and production must be increas- ed and costs lowered to affective- ly compete in international com- merce.
